Import Basic Track Data from AcoustID

The Unattended Metadata Lookups action may not be appropriate if you have individual tracks stored in folders which are not album based. This action attempts to import the Album, Artist, Title, MusicBrainz Release Id and MusicBrainz Recording Id metadata. The action will not process tracks which already have a MusicBrainz Recording Id. As false matches are possible, the initial Album, Artist and Title fields are saved in UDTIs as Save Album, Save Artist and Save Title.

Force Grouped Execution

This action attempts to acquire basic metadata. (Album, Artist and Title) from AcoustID. The can be be used when the 'Unattended Metadata Lookup' action has failed due to there being no cohesion between the tracks in a single folder.

The action ignores all tracks which already have a MusicBrainz Recording Id.

As there may be false matches in this approach, the action save s the initial contents of the Album, Artist and Title fields to User Defined Text Items (UDTIs). These fields can easily be removed after the fact from the UI or via an action.
